Become a Sponsored Poker Player Live your Poker Dream

Wouldn’t it be great to have someone to pay your deposit money so you can play your favorite game of poker? How would you like to have a rich sponsor pay your tournament entry fees so you don’t spend your own funds? Seems too good to be true, but the explosion of numerous websites cropping up all over the internet may well turn your desire into reality. Several sites claim to give away free poker sponsorships but you need to find one that is legitimate and not just a marketing gimmick.

Rest assured, there are genuine websites that really have poker sponsorships on offer for the serious poker player. If you have set your heart on playing poker without spending a dime out of your pocket, it would certainly be worth your while to scout around a bit to find one such site that offers exactly what you are looking for. There’s a catch, though – you need to be a winning poker player; websites typically prefer to sponsor quality poker players that turn out to be a good value for their money.

Most of these sites would like to watch your game while you play with your own money before offering to back you up. There are others that may test your knowledge about poker by quizzing you while yet others may just offer you money upfront to play poker. As expected, there are conditions to any sponsorship deal. You might be required to share your winnings with the sponsor or promote their site. Earlier, I mentioned sites that offer real money upfront to play poker, without expecting anything in return. These are affiliate sites – they are paid by the poker room for bringing in new customers that generate rake.

So, as a poker player, how do you capitalize on this idea of a “free sponsorship”? Well, you could play exceptional poker and make a lot of money, in fact, you can even think of poker as a full time career. There are various types of poker sponsorships available nowadays. For example, buyinbank.com is one such site offering a unique sponsorship program. If you see yourself as an aspiring tournament player, take a look at what Buy-in bank has in store for you.

Buyinbank.com is a new site that lets you exchange reward points for buy-ins for live tournaments and sponsored poker package deals. The conditions are simple – all you do is play poker for real money at any of the poker rooms that Buy-in bank has tied up with. You earn points for playing raked hands which can be exchanged at the site’s Poker Tour Store. If interested, you can choose to promote the site at the live tournament and you will be given a kit containing their clothing gear to wear at the event.

To become a member and participate in the rewards program, you can sign up for a free account at buyinbank.com. The more raked hands you play at the poker room, the more points you earn. Also, if you perform well at the tournament and bring home the title, you can look forward to a sponsorship deal with Buy-in Bank. Visit buyinbank.com to find out more about their amazing offers.
